I've just tried to stick to terminology from marginaleffects.com and explain the specifics in the methods. It was a bit of a pain when it comes to peer review as our reviewers were not familiar with marginal effects... still ploughing on though with using it in more upcoming papers though 😀😬

Your pics just look black to me! Lets see if this works...

@drandreahoward.bsky.social, hold my beer..

Latent class growth models are worse than useless, and we've known this for more than 20 years.

(See Bauer 2007)

I wonder to what extent this reflects changing terminology - "wellbeing" research is skyrocketing. The content of "wellbeing" and "happiness" scales seems to overlap quite a bit too.

Prevalence of war-related posttraumatic stress disorder in adolescents: a systematic review and meta-analysis Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder is common in civilians who are currently experiencing, or who have experienced, war. Most previous studies have focused on adult populations and, despite t...

Does anyone know of an available dataset including (1) passively collected data on what Apps are being used in the foreground of one's phone and when, & (2) mental health questionnaire measures (from 1 or many time points)?

Thank you 🙏

Have you run multiple chains per imputation to check if this behaviour happens within each imputed dataset?

A framework for understanding adverse adolescent experiences - Nature Human Behaviour Adolescence (ages 10–24) is characterized by cognitive, behavioural and social development. This Review proposes the adverse adolescent experiences (AAEs) framework to categorize and examine potential...

Our approach to understanding how adversities impact adolescent development often neglects the specificity and complexity of adolescence. In our new review, we propose the adolescent adverse experiences framework to capture adverse experiences at multiple levels: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thanks! Do you mean just using CI in the results with an explanation somewhere (probs methods) about what kind of interval it is? Rather than using 95% HDI [.xx, .yy] in the results?

New paper! Adolescents more susceptible to anti-social influence on an experimental task reported lower compliance with future COVID social distancing rules. Prosociality also predicted future compliance, but less clear associations for other factors. OA Link: doi.org/10.1016/j.he...

I wonder if there is more interesting work along the lines you describe - just that those researchers don't call it "personality" as it's so tied to the specific questionnaire/factor analysis approach.

Ooh thanks that has the sorts of plots I am looking for! I'm a bit surprised there isn't more descriptive work like this (or maybe I am not good at finding it...)

Thanks looks interesting! I'm aware of a similar age of onset paper which includes younger adolescents (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) but i'm ideally looking for either mean symptom levels or prevalence at different ages, rather than age of onset.

Looking for a reference - does anyone know of any large, recent studies describing age trends in depression & anxiety in childhood and adolescence ideally separated by gender? Longitudinal or cross-sectional.

Mental health and socio-cognitive predictors of adherence to COVID-19 social distancing rules in adolescents in England The COVID-19 pandemic prompted governments worldwide to introduce social distancing measures, including school closures and restrictions on in-person socialising. However, adherence to social distancing was challenging for many – particularly adolescents, for whom social interaction is crucial for development. The current study aimed to identify individual-level influences on adherence to social distancing in a longitudinal sample of adolescents aged 11-20 years in England, who took part in a randomised controlled trial.
